After sending the thieves packing, Lin Feng and his companions gave the matter no further thought and continued on toward their destination. However, the routed thieves were unwilling to let the matter rest. They fled all the way until they reached a secluded valley. A dilapidated bandit stronghold stood prominently within the valley—this was their lair.
The leader of the bandits rushed straight into the main hall of the stronghold and wailed to a burly man sitting in the seat of honor, "Boss, we got shaken down by a bunch of people, and the brothers even got hurt!" The burly man was powerfully built with a face covered in flesh. His tiger-like eyes flashed with a fierce light. He slammed his hand down onto the table and roared, "Who has the gall to run wild on our turf!" The bandit leader exaggerated the details of his encounter with Lin Feng and his group, particularly emphasizing the giant sword emitting a strange glow that Lin Feng had been toying with.
A flash of greed crossed the burly man's eyes upon hearing this. "Hmph! Anyone who dares to rob my brothers will pay for it!" With a wave of his massive hand, he summoned all the bandits in the stronghold and set off in a mighty horde in the direction Lin Feng and the others had taken.
